Nice spot Toby, it's #083.

As you say, it has a few choice options: LED Headlights, Adaptive Cruise, Air Scarf, Head Up Display, H/K & Pro-Media.

An option on Cab’s that provides a vent at the top of seat back (below the headrest) which blows warm air to keep the occupant cosy with a metaphorical scarf.

It’s certainly up there. :D I believe it was Merc who first offered it but it soon got picked up by others.

Personally I think cooled seats in a cab would be more useful, particularly on very sunny days when it’s got black leather

I'd just shorten that to 'The X6' :) Take a perfectly good X5 and then remove rear headroom.....
